    I had these and they did nothing for me! i could eat what i wanted and never went to the loo, prob helped by the fact im always constipated with IBS, i am shockingly over weight and i just cant get my head into the right place to diet even though i need to :(

    I found they didn't help me go to the toilet anymore often either, was just a bit of oil now and then _pale_ I was close to getting a camera up my bum because my doctor was horrified I was still having issues and getting impacted whilst on those :eek: Movicol is what I have to drink now :(
  • I have depression & i fit into cat 1 & cat 2 for the age.my doctor & i think that it may be a mood lifter if i take something to help weight loss.that way i will feel like going about the day easier which in turn we hope will lift the depression that come like a dark cloud to me.i thank you all for your replies, day 2 going okay.i have rethought my eating last couple of days.
